I was counting up my MoFo posts and realized that I was only 4 posts away from Vegan MoFo Glory! Wooooot! So I decided to give myself a little break from the posting and to have a little Halloween fun with the Guppy… Please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I can run with the likes of the Queen of Halloween, River, and her amazing, spooky treats, and I think that Diann's Spider Web Soup is the most boooodiful I've ever seen, but hey, I wanted to get in on the Halloween baking fun :
Don't you love these Skeleton People? I would have made Vegan Gingerbread People, but since neither Guppy nor M. Fish are fans, I decided to throw caution to the wind and try something new. I took my favorite recipe for Sugar Cookies from The Joy of Vegan Baking (which I really need to blog on some day), doubled it, then added 3/4 cup of Dutch-Processed Cocoa. Yummy! These babies tasted just a little bit like the Oreos of my youth. A piping bag and some royal icing and I was all about the scary goodness!
I'm bringing these cookies (the ones that I managed to hide before we all started devouring them) to the little Halloween party I'm having with my (little) students tomorrow – I know, it's not Halloween yet (thought it looks like it here in our apartment. You can't have too many decorations, can you?) but it's already vacation time here in France, and the kids won't have class during the week of Halloween, so we're gonna get our party on a wee bit early. Boo!
On a personal note, yesterday was my last day at the other evil job I hated and quit! WOOOT!

President Barack Obama has thrown his support behind the Let Teddy Win movement, the White house said Thursday.
Obama was responding to Republican Senator John McCain's call for a congressional investigation into the Washington Nationals' conspiracy against racing president Teddy Roosevelt in a video report that aired Tuesday on ESPN's E:60.
White House spokesman Jay Carney opened Thursday's press briefing aboard Air Force One with a prepared statement about the presidents race as an example of the possibility for bipartisanship in Washington.
"Senator McCain gave an important interview the other day," Carney said, calling Teddy's losses "an outrage."
"I agree with Sen. McCain," he continued. "I'm comfortable saying my boss agrees with Sen. McCain."
Carney went on to note that president Obama has long been a fan of Theodore Roosevelt.
The White House has posted the full transcript here.

Corker: GOP could approve tax hikes on very rich
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans would probably agree to higher tax rates on the wealthiest Americans if it meant getting a chance to overhaul costly government entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security, a GOP senator predicted Sunday.
The comments by Bob Corker of Tennessee — a fiscal conservative who has been gaining stature in the Senate as a pragmatic deal broker — puts new pressure on House Speaker John Boehner and other Republican leaders to rethink their long-held assertion that even the very rich shouldn't see their rates go up next year. GOP leaders have argued that the revenue gained by hiking the top two tax rates would be trivial to the deficit, and that any tax hike hurts job creation.
But Corker says insisting on that red line — especially since President Barack Obama won re-election after campaigning on raising tax rates on the wealthy — might not be wise.
"There is a growing group of folks looking at this and realizing that we don't have a lot of cards as it relates to the tax issue before year end," Corker told "Fox News Sunday."
If Republicans agree to Obama's plan to increase rates on the top 2 percent of Americans, Corker added, "the focus then shifts to entitlements and maybe it puts us in a place where we actually can do something that really saves the nation."
Besides getting tax hikes through the Republican-dominated House, Corker's proposal faces another hurdle: Democrats haven't been receptive to GOP proposals on the entitlement programs. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., on Sunday was skeptical about proposals to increase the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67. He said he doesn't see Congress addressing the complicated issue of Medicare overhaul in the three weeks remaining before the end of the year.
"I just don't think we can do it in a matter of days here before the end of the year," Durbin said. "We need to address that in a thoughtful way through the committee structure after the first of the year."
The clock is ticking to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff," when a combination of automatic tax increases and spending cuts kick in at the beginning of the year. Negotiations are taking place primarily between Obama and the GOP's Boehner, whose party controls the House and comprises mostly hard-line fiscal conservatives who are holding fast to their position.
"No Republican wants to vote for a rate tax increase," said Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, chairman of the House Republican Conference.
Added Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.: "I'm not sure there is support for the rate hikes. There is support for revenue by cleaning up the code."
But at least one House Republican has said there is another way. Rep. Tom Cole, of Oklahoma, has said Obama and Boehner should agree not to raise tax rates on the majority of Americans and negotiate the rates for top earners later. Cole said Sunday that most House Republicans would vote for that approach because it doesn't include a rate hike.
"You know, it's not waving a white flag to recognize political reality," Cole said.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., already has said he could support higher tax rates on upper incomes as part of a comprehensive plan to cut the federal deficit.
When asked Sunday what it would take to sign on to a tax rate increase, Coburn echoed Corker's comments by responding: "Significant entitlement reform." He quickly added, however, that he has estimated that such a tax rate increase would only affect about 7 percent of the deficit.
"Will I accept a tax increase as a part of a deal to actually solve our problems? Yes," Coburn said. "But the president's negotiating with the wrong people. He needs to be negotiating with our bondholders in China, because if we don't put a credible plan on the discussion, ultimately, we all lose."
Obama's plan would raise $1.6 trillion in revenue over 10 years, partly by letting decade-old tax cuts on the country's highest earners expire at the end of the year. He would continue those Bush-era tax cuts for everyone except individuals earning more than $200,000 and couples making above $250,000. The highest rates on top-paid Americans would rise from 33 percent and 35 percent to 36 percent and 39.6 percent.
Boehner has offered $800 billion in new revenues to be raised by reducing or eliminating unspecified tax breaks on upper-income people. The Republican plan would cut spending by $1.4 trillion, including by trimming annual increases in Social Security payments and raising the eligibility age for Medicare.
Hensarling and Coburn spoke on ABC's "This Week." Blackburn and Cole spoke on CNN's "State of the Union." Durbin spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Randy Wolf (5-6, 3.55) vs. Joe Martinez (2-0, 5.87).
COMMENTS: The suddenly-third-place Giants find themselves in need of an ace, but he doesn't start until tomorrow. Instead, they're turning to the hard-headed rookie Martinez, who won his first game back from the disabled list last week. Martinez matches up against the wily vet Wolf, who will...(shakes Magic 8-Ball)...receive a no-decision? There's a surprise.
James Loney figures to return to the lineup, but don't expect to see Orlando Hudson, who suffered a groin strain in last night's game. (Although Hudson will undoubtedly try to wheedle his way into starting.) And Manny Ramirez, who went 2-for-4 last night, just might be rediscovering his stroke — if not his ability to ignore distractions.

Principal Turnover
Principal Turnover for the school is the number of different principals at the same school in the last 6 years. At the district and state level, it is the average number of principals at the same school in the past 6 years. If the number is 0, no current data was provided. Learn More
Stable leadership motivates teachers and creates a positive environment for students; however, a change in leadership can also be a part of a school or district's overall improvement plan (e.g. strong principals may be moved to lower performing schools, or weak principals may be removed from school leadership in general). Therefore, interested parties should look more deeply into the turnover rate to determine the effectiveness of school leadership.

Tell me, O Octopus, I begs,
Is those things arms, or is they legs?
— From Ogden Nash's light verse classic, "The Octopus"
Hey, You! Poems to Skyscrapers, Mosquitoes, and Other Fun Things. Selected by Paul B. Janeczko and Robert Rayevsky. HarperCollins, 40 pp., $16.89. Ages 6 and up.
By Janice Harayda
The thirty short poems in this picture book all speak to somebody or something — a shell, a horse, an astronaut – or use the literary device known as apostrophe.
Editor Paul Janeczko has chosen a mix of rhymed and unrhymed and comic and serious verse by living and dead poets, including Ogden Nash, X.J. Kennedy and Karla Kushkin. And some of the entries have an unexpected timeliness, such as Emily Dickinson's "Bee, I'm Expecting You!," which begins: "Bee, I'm expecting you! / Was saying yesterday / To somebody you know / That you were overdue." (Could there be a better bedtime poem for a first or second grader who loved Bee Movie?) But the dark and heavy-handed illustrations – which hang over some pages like thunderclouds — are no match for the high quality of the poems. So this is a book to use selectively: Instead of reading straight through it, look for the pages most likely to appeal to a particular child. And just try to keep a straight face if they include Nash's classic, "The Octopus," which begins: "Tell me, O Octopus, I begs, / Is those things arms, or is they legs?"

Furthermore: Janeczko is a Maine poet who also edited Dirty Laundry Pile: Poems in Different Voices, a companion to Hey, You!. Rayevsky lives in Parksville, NY, and illustrated Caroline Stutson's Pirate Pup and other books for children.
Reviews of children's books appear every Saturday on One-Minute Book Reviews. They often deal with poetry for ages 2 and up. You can find other reviews of children's poetry books by clicking on the "Children's Books" category at right (below the "Recent Posts" and "Top Posts" listings).

[I'm tossing in a few extra posts this week with suggested gifts for readers. Again, no kickbacks from their sellers. These are just gifts that I like and help to support libraries or other friends of books. Today's review appears in the post below this one.]
Most book posters are artless enough to appeal only to fans of the titles they promote. Not this handsome poster published by the Bodleian Library at Oxford University for an exhibit marking the 50th anniversary of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit in 1987. The poster shows one of Tolkien's drawings for the first edition of the novel, depicting the scene "Bilbo Comes to the Huts of the Raft-elves." It has the dates of the exhibit and sells for 5.95 pounds (about $12) at Bodleian Library Shop Online shop.bodley.ox.ac.uk/acatalog/index.html.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Arizona's largest city has gone four months without any measurable rain, and neighboring New Mexico is in the midst of four years of severe drought.
But you'll still see and hear fireworks sparkle and pop during the days around July 4, despite the dangerously high threat of wildfires.
While some places in the West ban fireworks altogether, or greatly limit what you can light off when conditions are ripe for fire, other states are going in the opposite direction.
Arizona actually loosened its restrictions this year and is now allowing residents of the two most populated cities to set off fireworks in the days around Independence Day, and an effort by the New Mexico governor to impose tougher rules during dry times has repeatedly fallen on deaf ears in the Legislature.
Some lawmakers chalk it up to statehouse politics, while others say it's politicians' reluctance to impose more regulations and take away the cherished tradition of setting off fireworks, even in severe droughts.
Phil Griego, a northern New Mexico rancher and a Democratic state senator, said the pastures around his village are so dry that the grass crunches under the hooves of horses and cattle when ranchers move the animals from one field to the next.
Griego tried during this year's legislative session to pass a measure that would have updated New Mexico's fireworks laws to give cities and counties more authority to ban fireworks when fire danger is high. Political wrangling stalled the measure in the Democrat-controlled Senate despite bipartisan support from lawmakers, fire chiefs around the state and Republican Gov. Susan Martinez, who has been pushing since 2011 for changes to the law.
"This is critical because I don't think this drought and this situation we're in right now is going to pass any time soon," Griego said. "For this year, it's done and over, but we've got to start working on next year. We've got to have protections. Look at the fires that are taking place now with just lightning strikes."
Arizona began allowing the sale and use of certain fireworks in 2010. This year, the state updated its laws to prohibit cities in Maricopa and Pima counties — which include Phoenix and Tucson — from banning the use of fireworks around the July 4 holiday. Previously, some cities in the area had banned fireworks, while others didn't, resulting in much confusion.
The Phoenix Fire Department is placing trucks in strategic places around town so crews can respond to brush fires within minutes. City employees will also be monitoring popular hiking trails, looking for anyone trying to set off illegal fireworks.
"We're trying to keep control on it," said Glenn D'Auria, president of the Arizona Fire Marshals Association and a Tucson fire inspector. "It's new for us. It's not like back East where people grew up with it. It's a new toy to play with out here."
In Texas, legislation to give the state fire marshal the power to enforce stricter rules didn't get far during the last session partly due to the lack of appetite among some lawmakers for imposing more regulations on small businesses.
Some places in the West do restrict fireworks heavily. In Utah, more than 50 cities and towns have imposed additional restrictions this year due to the fire danger. Some municipalities have banned all fireworks in city limits, while several have designated safe areas near fire departments or parking lots from which to light fireworks.
Utah lawmakers this year passed a measure giving counties the authority to restrict fireworks in unincorporated areas.
In California, not many cities allow for the sale and use of legal fireworks. An open burn ban began this week for millions of acres managed by California's state forestry division. The agency said it has zero tolerance for illegal fireworks and will be patrolling over the holiday weekend given the drought emergency.
The same goes for Washington, where fireworks are banned in all of the biggest cities and in many other places. People in Seattle are prohibited from setting off fireworks within city limit on the Fourth of July or any other time.
From California and Arizona to New Mexico and Oklahoma, fire officials and elected leaders are encouraging people to attend professional fireworks shows instead of lighting fountains in their neighborhoods.
At a barren lot on the edge of Albuquerque, a team of pyro-experts with Western Enterprises Inc. was busy Wednesday dropping hundreds of shells into carefully aligned and wired launching tubes for the city's annual fireworks show. Thousands of people were expected to attend.
Across town, Nathan Farmer was setting up dozens of boxed sets of fireworks at his roadside stand. Last summer, when the drought reached unprecedented levels in New Mexico, sales were down but he's hopeful his sparklers and fountains sell this year.
Farmer said concerned citizens have in the past called the police on him, saying he shouldn't be selling fireworks given the threat of wildfire.
Fireworks are like anything else in life, he said.
"If you give a person some money, a gun, a car or alcohol, it's up to that person to be responsible with it," he said.

We're honored to have Michael Busch dissecting the latest WikiLeaks document dump for Focal Points. This is the forty-third in the series.
Once Latin America's safest city, Monterrey—in the north of Mexico—has become a central battlefield in the country's war against drugs. Each day, scores of people, many in law enforcement, are gunned down on Monterrey's streets as increasingly powerful narcotraffickers contest the Mexican government's sovereign control over its richest city.
As a US embassy cable published Saturday by WikiLeaks shows, however, the fight between Mexican authorities and the country's drug gangs is hardly a clear-cut case of good guys taking on the bad.
Written at the start of 2009, the cable examines civil society efforts to combat the rising influence, and attendant violence, of drug traffickers in Monterrey and its immediate surroundings. Diplomats at the local consulate note that
As the wave of kidnappings, extortion, and narco-violence continues in the Monterrey region, the public—across all socioeconomic levels and classes—remains fearful. Attention shifts from one incident to another, whether it be the January 6 grenade attack on the Monterrey Televisa broadcast offices, the January 18 murder of a wealthy adolescent departing a nightclub, or the January 25 dumping of a tortured corpse outside the state government's anonymous tipster office. Many local experts do not expect the situation to improve anytime soon.
One of those experts, Governor Socrates Rizzo of Nuevo Leon, the state in which Monterrey is located, told American diplomats that a large part of the trouble came from a compromised local government which was ineffectual at best, thoroughly corrupted by drug money at worst. "If citizens are afraid to turn to the authorities when faced with threats," the cable concludes, "then truly crime victims are on their own."
Making matters worse, Rizzo openly worried that the national elections slated for July—which dealt a decisive blow to President Felipe Calderon's ruling PAN party—would draw drug traffickers and organized politics even closer.
While the two principal parties—PRI and PAN—had both taken steps to guard against the infiltration of narco-money in the campaigns, in practice it would be virtually impossible to prevent organized crime from bankrolling candidates. One way the cartels could impact the race would be to just bribe television anchorpersons and commentators, thereby ensuring that their particular candidate would receive favorable coverage. Alternatively…organized crime could provide a candidate's staff with walking around money to distribute to voters.
Not only that, "applicable campaign finance regulations only cover the candidate, so that it would be easy to simply funnel the narco-money to a family member."
The prospect of elections also brought to light the scarier prospect that rival politicians might use their connections to organize crime to violently contest for political control. The January 6 attacks on the Televisa headquarters, it turns out, were likely not
a response to any reporting done by that broadcast outlet on the cartels. Instead, [media representatives] saw it as an attempt by organized crime to inflict political damage on the current Nuevo Leon State Secretary for Governance—who happens to be the current governor's preferred candidate to win the PRI nomination in the gubernatorial race. Under this line of argument, political mafias contracted organized crime gunmen to carry out the attack—if true, an even more chilling scenario [than] the alternative theory that the cartels themselves were behind the assault.
While the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) cleaned up at the polls, violence in Monterrey and across the country has only increased in frequency and magnitude. Local politicians and law enforcement have been particularly under attack. Just this Thursday, an elite squad of police in Garcia—a Monterrey suburb town—was attacked by a team of former police officers working for organized crime. The next day, Jaime Rodriguez—mayor of Garcia—barely survived an assassination attempt as he traveled to Monterrey.
Three mayors nationwide have already been murdered since the start of 2011, and a fourth is currently missing. Nearly 1,200 Mexicans have lost their lives to drug-related violence since January.

A Caldecott Honor Book and others by Eric Kimmel that offer more than eight days of fun
By Janice Harayda
For a holiday that Jewish scholars regard as minor, Hanukkah has produced at least one major children's book and others that shine like a just-polished silver menorah.
The best is the Caldecott Honor Book Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins (Holiday House, $6.95, paperback, ages 4–8). Eric A. Kimmel's spirited text finds its inspiration in exploits of Hershel of Ostropol, a quick-witted, itinerant Jewish folk hero who lived Eastern Europe in early 19th century.
In this picture book Hershel must outsmart goblins who haunt an old hilltop synagogue and annually spoil Hanukkah in the valley below though tactics such as blowing out villagers' candles and throwing their latkes on the floor. He triumphs through an ingenious mix of humor, intelligence and feigned indifference to their powers. (When the king of the goblins tries to intimidate Hershel by asking him if he knows who he is, he quips, "I know you're not Queen Esther.") The entertaining text is not flawless: A seam shows where Kimmel seems to have edited out the stories of a few goblins who appeared in longer version.
But Trina Schart Hyman's pictures have their usual rich, luminous beauty – like that of fine stained glass windows – and lift Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins into an aptly ethereal realm. Schart Hyman is one of few picture-book artists can make dark tones rest as lightly on their pages as Tomi Ungerer's did his great Moon Man.
Kimmel www.ericakimmel.com has also written at least a half dozen other widely respected picture books about Hannukah. One that's out-of-print but worth tracking down at a library or elsewhere is The Magic Dreidels (Holiday House, $6.95 paperback, ages 4–8), illustrated by Katya Krenina, the engaging story of a boy named Jacob who encounters a goblin who gives him several magic dreidels, the four-sided tops that children spin during Hanukkah.
A picture book that is in print Kimmel's The Chanukkah Guest (Holiday House, $6.95 paperback, ages 4–8), a folk-tale–like story of an old woman with failing vision who lives on the edge of a forest and serves her Hanukkah latkes to a bear she mistakes for her rabbi. First published in Cricket, The Chanukkah Guest www.holidayhouse.com isn't in the same league with Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins or even The Magic Dreidels. But it tells an amusing story about a friendly bear that's likely to appeal to 4- and 5-year-olds who enjoy tales such Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood. Another picture book that remains in print is Kimmel's turn-of-the-century tale, When Mindy Saved Hannukah (Scholastic, $5.99, paperback, ages 4-8). I haven't seen it, but you can find reviews on Amazon www.amazon.com that give a good sense of its story.
Kimmel's holiday offering for older children is A Hanukkah Treasury (Holt, $20, ages 9-12), illustrated by Emily Lister, a collection of songs, poems, recipes and more. I haven't seen this one, either, but admired his book about Passover, Wonders and Miracles: A Passover Companion Scholastic, $18.95, ages 9-12) www.oneminutebookreviews.wordpress.com/2007/03/24/. That beautifully produced anthology, though recommended by its publisher for school-age children, had some material that would appeal to preschoolers, too.
If you can't find these books, ask a bookseller or children's librarian to show you other books by its author, about Hannukah or another subject. Kimmel has been writing for decades and enjoys a well-earned popularity. While the appeal of many Hannukah books won't outlast the holiday, Kimmel's stories are seasonless.
Reviews new or classic children's books appear every Saturday on One-Minute Book Reivews. You can read other reviews of children's books by clicking on the "Children's Books" category below the "Top Posts" list at right.

Lake Mead's retreat leaves Nevada ghost town high and dry
Looking down on a Nevada valley from a rocky ledge near the edge of Lake Mead, it was hard to believe that the bustling town of St. Thomas had ever thrived here. A woman shielded her eyes from the October sun and asked our guide, "Is this it?"
Eighty years ago, neighbors gossiped under cottonwood trees and children played baseball in the street. Now, only scattered remnants hint at the rise and fall of the little town: crumbling concrete foundations, rusty engine fragments, and dry cisterns. The valley feels abandoned and desolate, starkly lonely under a cloudless desert sky.
It was National Archaeology Day, and I'd accompanied six curious tourists to explore the skeleton of this ghost town, resurrected from its watery grave. We negotiated a steep path down, our feet sinking deep into the soft desert sand. Thick groves of invasive tamarisk -- one of the few living inhabitants of the dusty plain -- choked the narrow path and scratched our bare arms and legs. Thousands of tiny freshwater shells crunched underfoot, mementos from the decades the town spent far below the murky surface of Lake Mead.
Settled by Mormons in 1865, St. Thomas was nestled between the Muddy and Virgin rivers, two tributaries of the nearby Colorado River. The rivers provided fertile ground and dependable water, both rarities in southern Nevada. Despite the inhospitable climate, the settlement thrived, supplying nearby mining communities with barley, pears and cotton. By the early 1900s, a railroad ran through town, and soon, one of the first automobile highways in the West linked St. Thomas with developing cities in California and Utah.
But the water that brought St. Thomas to life also led to the town's demise. In 1928, Congress approved a plan to tame the mighty Colorado River by building the Boulder -- now Hoover -- Dam at a narrow section of the river less than 40 miles from the town. Once construction was completed, the floodwaters would cover the little valley.
The people of St. Thomas didn't want to leave. Local authorities came by every few months, urging them to pack up and move to nearby Overton or Logandale. "Sure, of course we are getting ready to move," the residents said, reassuringly. "Just give us more time." The rangers returned, again and again, to the same refrain.
As the water closed in, in the mid-1930s, people finally began to gather their belongings and move. Two worn chairs were left in the street outside the Gentry Hotel, and passersby stopped and sat on them for a while, watching the rising reservoir slowly consume barley fields and chicken coops. Soon, the chairs, too, were swallowed.
St. Thomas lay beneath Lake Mead for much of the last 70 years, emerging occasionally when the water level dropped. This time, the town has been exposed since 2002 -- the longest period since its drowning -- because the reservoir has been depleted by a lengthy drought and a growing population. And Lake Mead is unlikely to reclaim St. Thomas anytime soon: its surface now lies nearly 30 feet below the town's remains. The site, now managed by the National Park Service, is frequented by tourists, historians and the occasional coyote.
Many former residents never stopped considering St. Thomas their home. Each time the water receded, they descended on its ruins to read poems and picnic in the empty lots where their houses once stood. At the 1965 reunion, Marva Perkins Sprague found her childhood doll, buried in a mud bank.
Nearly 30 years earlier, auto shop owner Hugh Lord was the last to leave St. Thomas before it was swallowed. He had refused to believe that the floodwaters would ever reach his home. As the rising lake lapped at his front porch in the summer of 1938, he finally stepped into a boat and rowed away, surrendering to the water that had helped the town blossom, then come to claim it.

Collecting Water from the Sky
If you have ever eaten loose olives before, there is a good chance that it was imported from Greece in one of these barrels. At approximately 200 litres, or 50 gallons, they are made from food grade plastic and have a sealed removable lid.
They should also have a plastic grille inside which I presume was for pulling the olives up through the liquid, and this is handy for lifting out any loose leaves or twigs.
And like how using coffee grounds in the garden leaves a lovely smell around the place, these barrels have a good coating of olive oil that seems to come through when full of water.
The final benefit is perhaps the best one, these cost me $10 dollars each.
It turns out that there are not too many things a business can do with an empty olive barrel, so they end up being shredded for cat litter or some other less than ideal ending.
The water barrel on the right below is a commercial rain collector that I paid $100 for, and the one next to it is a used olive barrel. Same thing for a tenth of the cost.
This was the sight after a good rain, all full and ready to store. I have a shed in the back where I collect the rainwater from, actually only one of the shed gutters is being used, so I could probably get another 10 or so of these and have more than enough for a long dry summer.
So if you see one of these old olive barrels, make sure you find a way to get it home and hooked up to a source of rainwater. They can also be used as a rolling compost bin and worm farm, and there will be a future post all about that.
How do you collect and store rainwater?

Netflix cuts original TV deal with DreamWorks
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Netflix announced a deal on Monday to air television programming from Dreamworks Animation in what the company described as its biggest transaction ever for original first-run content.
Though financial details were not disclosed, Netflix Inc. said the agreement includes more than 300 hours of new TV episodes in a multi-year deal starting in 2014.
The transaction is a major coup for both companies. It helps Netflix compete with pay TV channels such as HBO and Showtime, and it gives Dreamworks a potentially lucrative outlet for its shows as it tries to shed its reliance on two or three big-budget movies each year.
"This is arguably a groundbreaking deal," said Tuna Amobi, a Standard & Poor's equity analyst who covers both Netflix and DreamWorks Animation.
While concerns remain about how much the deal will cost Netflix in the end, the company said it is a global deal that will allow it to debut the original series in the 40 countries where Netflix operates. That could help spread the costs over more territories and more subscribers if Netflix continues to grow overseas.
"The big question is if this is going to be an international catalyst in terms of subscriber growth," Amobi said.
Investors hailed the deal as a win-win. Netflix shares rose $15.70, or 7.3 percent, to close at $229.69 on Monday, while DreamWorks shares rose 92 cents, or 4 percent, to close at $23.73.
As part of the arrangement, Netflix Inc. doubled down on original children's programming, hoping to strengthen its push to become a family entertainment brand. The new content should ease some of the pain of losing a range of kids shows from Viacom Inc.'s Nickelodeon network, including future episodes of "Dora the Explorer," which Amazon.com Inc. snapped up for its streaming service in early June.
The deal suggests DreamWorks will significantly ramp up its production of TV shows. Currently, it only produces "Dragons: Riders of Berk" for Cartoon Network, which completed a run of 20 episodes at 23 minutes each — less than 8 hours of content in all — in March.
A second season of "Dragons" is set for release in the fall, and Netflix had already contracted with DreamWorks for a series based on its upcoming film, "Turbo." But the deal suggests that several new series will have to debut each year to fulfill the industry standard deal length of five to seven years.
New series will be based on characters either from future film hits, past franchises like "Shrek," or even older hits, including the hundreds of characters like "Casper the Friendly Ghost," which DreamWorks acquired when it bought Classic Media last July for $155 million.
The new DreamWorks shows aren't likely to tread on ground already covered under its existing TV shows, according to DreamWorks spokeswoman Allison Rawlings.
DreamWorks already licenses characters from "Kung Fu Panda," ''Madagascar" and "Monsters vs. Aliens" to Viacom's Nickelodeon, which has been producing original animated TV shows based on those movies since 2008.
The multi-year agreement tops the undisclosed amount Netflix spent on "House of Cards," the political drama starring Kevin Spacey that debuted to rave reviews on Netflix in February.
Netflix has been adding original programming to its roster of older movies and TV show reruns, and is set to launch the Jenji Kohan-created "Orange Is the New Black" next month. The company has said that for the next several years, it will contain original content spending to within 10 percent of its $2 billion in annual content costs.
Netflix's increased focus on children's programming is seen as a departure from the tactics of traditional premium pay TV channels such as HBO, Starz and Showtime, whose original shows tend to be tailored to adults. It also ramps up the competition for children viewers with Amazon, which said last month it will produce three new original kids shows for members of its Amazon Prime subscription plan.
Netflix has said it has 29.2 million streaming video subscribers in the U.S. and 7.1 million internationally as of the end of March. Those figures are up 5.8 million and 4.1 million respectively from a year ago.
In December, Netflix announced it will offer Disney movies, starting with films released in 2016. It declined to make a similar deal for the rights to Sony movies starting in 2016, which was kept by Starz.
Investor reaction wasn't uniformly positive. Analyst Rich Tullo of brokerage Albert Fried & Co. said he doubts that DreamWorks has the capacity to produce more than one or two new series a year.
"It's physically impossible without this content being spread out over 10 years," he said.
Hit TV shows aren't guaranteed, and it's not clear that this will make up for Netflix's loss of Nickelodeon content, he said.
"Are they going to lose 2 million subscribers off losing Nickelodeon content? That's possible too," he said.

Ubuntu Edgy Installation Guide: Difference between revisions
|Line 1:
|Line 1:
Revision as of 01:32, 2 June 2011
In Ubuntu Edgy you can choose between two methods of installing the proprietary ATI driver. If you are new to linux you should use the first method as it is a lot easier than the second one and will work well in most cases. The second method describes how to install the very latest driver version, but requires some additional work and knowledge.
Method 1: Installing Edgy's Included Driver (8.28.8)
The included fglrx driver supports Radeon 8500+ and the X-series cards up to X1900.
Disable Composite Extension
In Ubuntu Edgy the Composite extension is enabled by default, however, fglrx does not yet support Composite with DRI. In order to to disable Composite you have to edit the xorg.conf file:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and add these lines at the end of the file:
|File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
Installing the driver
Make sure the restricted repository is enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list or this guide will not work!
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) #Okay if it is already installed sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx sudo depmod -a sudo aticonfig --initial sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
Now Reboot your system:
sudo shutdown -r now
An alternative to the aticonfig --initial command is to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace the string "ati" with "fglrx" in the "Device" section. This way you won't lose your old "Screen" and "Monitor" settings. Afterwards you can use aticonfig for setting overlay etc.
Confirm that it works
fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9600 Generic OpenGL version string: 2.0.6011 (8.28.8)
Troubleshooting for Method 1
- The output of dmesg | grep fglrx and /var/log/Xorg.0.log are most useful when looking for errors. You should really include this when you are asking for help somewhere.
- If you used Method 2 before, you have to unblacklist fglrx again by editing /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common. You may have to run sudo lrm-manager afterwards.
Method 2: Generating/Installing Ubuntu packages for the new 8.30.3 drivers in Ubuntu Edgy Manually
The new fglrx driver supports Radeon 9500+ (older cards will not work!) and the X-series cards up to X1900.
Disable Composite Extension
In Ubuntu Edgy the Composite extension is enabled by default, however, fglrx does not yet support Composite with DRI. In order to to disable Composite you have to edit the xorg.conf file:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and add these lines at the end of the file:
|File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
Blacklist old fglrx module from linux-restricted-modules
As ubuntu's linux-restricted-modules package includes the fglrx module from an old driver version (8.28.8), we have to blacklist this module to make sure the new kernel module which is needed by the new driver will be used instead.
sudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
Edit DISABLED_MODULES to include fglrx
|File: /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
Installing the new driver
Download the ATI driver installer: ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run (this installer is for 32bit and 64bit systems)
Change to the download directory. Make sure that you have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list before doing these steps.
Install necessary tools:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential sudo apt-get install fakeroot dh-make debconf libstdc++5 linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Create .deb packages:
sudo ln -sf bash /bin/sh bash ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/edgy sudo ln -sf dash /bin/sh
Install .deb packages:
sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.30.3-1*.deb sudo dpkg -i fglrx-kernel-source_8.30.3-1*.deb sudo dpkg -i fglrx-control_8.30.3-1*.deb
Remove any old fglrx debs from /usr/src/:
sudo rm /usr/src/fglrx-kernel*.deb
Compile the kernel module:
sudo module-assistant prepare sudo module-assistant update sudo module-assistant build fglrx sudo module-assistant install fglrx sudo depmod -a
IMPORTANT: You have to recompile the kernel module after each kernel update!
Update the xorg.conf file:
sudo aticonfig --initial sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
Note: You could also edit your /usr/X11/xorg.conf file to change your driver to fglrx then run:
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
This way your xorg.conf file will stay clean.
Now Reboot:
sudo shutdown -r now
Confirm that it worked
$ fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9700 Generic OpenGL version string: 2.0.6119 (8.30.3)
$ glxinfo | grep render direct rendering: Yes
If your direct rendering is disabled, you may have to symlink the dri folder:
sudo mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/modules sudo ln -s /usr/lib/dri /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/
Troubleshooting for Method 2
The aticonfig --initial command will not update the xorg.conf file if it already has a "fglrx" Device section. However, you may force aticonfig to generate default Monitor, Device, and Screen sections with the following command:
sudo aticonfig --force --initial
The module compiles, but doesn't work
For some reason fglrx may need gcc-4.0 to compile, if you experience some message related to gcc version in dmesg, try this:
First we'll install it
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0
and link it to gcc.
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc
After doing the module-assistant steps, you may want to return gcc to 4.1 by default:
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 /usr/bin/gcc
Troubleshooting for both Methods
The output of dmesg | grep fglrx and /var/log/Xorg.0.log are most useful when looking for errors.
DRI does not work although the fglrx module is loaded
If fglrxinfo shows:
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
Make sure the Composite extension is disabled, add this to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
This should also resolve the corrupted mouse cursor problem in dual-head mode.
Module isn't loaded
If the fglrx module isn't loaded try to add fglrx to /etc/modules on a new line. See also bug 63912.
|File: /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded # at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored. fglrx
2D speed
If you suffer from slow 2D speed it might help to set
Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"
in the fglrx device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Is the rebooting really necessary?
However, rebooting is the easiest method to ensure that the kernel module(s) from the old driver are unloaded and the fglrx module is loaded instead. If you don't want to reboot for some reason, you may manually shut down Xorg, unload any old "drm", "radeon" or "fglrx" modules and then start Xorg again.
Note: if modprobe fglrx can't find the fglrx module, try rebuilding your kernel module dependency:
sudo depmod -a
Revert to Xorg driver
If (for any reason) the fglrx install fails, you can revert to the Xorg driver by executing
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and selecting the "ati" driver, or simply restoring the previous /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, if you made a backup.
You also need to remove the xorg-driver-fglrx or your manually installed drivers to get the 3D acceleration back, since it is provided by file /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 which belongs to libgl1-mesa package and which is moved to backup and replaced at the installation of xorg-driver-fglrx (or the manually built) package. In case the removal of the fglrx drivers fails to restore the file from libgl1-mesa, you have to reinstall the package by running:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa

I hope to do a full review of it in another post, but I do think that every person who is of voting age and who did not vote in either of the last two elections should be dragged to a movie theater — forcibly, if necessary — to see Selma. To see people dying for the right to vote. And everyone who says "my vote doesn't matter," they should pay close attention to the career of the brutal sheriff after the Voting Rights Act went into effect.
Who I am…
I am a lawyer, former mother of teenagers, and a quixotic seeker after and champion of factual truth.
I make the best damn brownies you have ever had that are not regulated by the federal government.
I love movies, Broadway, and intelligent conversation.
I think in song lyrics and movie and television quotes.
I believe in the use of proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar even in text messages. I am willing to debate the use of the Oxford comma, if you know what the Oxford comma is. It also makes me very happy if people use the subjunctive mood when appropriate.
I have been told I intimidate people. I am really just a fluffy-centered teddy bear. Really.

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Miller Multimatic 215 Multiprocess Welder, Auto-darkening welding helmets like the Digital Infinity with ClearLight Technology, and the Bobcat 225 Welder/Generator. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."
